Not a single error. I had it happen yesterday when logging on as an Admin
account with no profile and no folder redirection. This was the first time

someone has been on and working for a while and things hang. From there the
end is near. Thankfully it is not an epidemic yet, but I had had it
reported by 3 or 4 people lately.
